Galya Popova
Bonn, Germany
Artist Galya Popova creates evocative compositions that capture emotions and tell stories. Her works are often inspired by everyday situations, nature, and childhood memories. “For me, a painting is like a poem, a message that can be interpreted individually,” says Galya. Encouraged by her mother, she advanced quickly from children's art classes to adult courses. Although she explored various creative fields, including theater arts and fashion design—even showcasing her own fashion collection at Moscow Fashion Week—painting and illustration remained her true passion. Galya now shares a home studio in Germany with her writer husband, working amidst books, art supplies, and scenic views. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, going to the gym, and experimenting with new recipes.

Artist Statement
I create paintings with stories behind them to add depth and volume. My work often feels like a scene from a movie, with a beginning and an unfolding narrative. I draw inspiration from childhood memories, everyday life, nature, people, and books. I love it when viewers find something personal in my art that resonates emotionally and evokes memories. For me, a painting is like a poem—a message open to individual interpretation.
Many describe my work as poetic and evocative, where the faces of my characters express a range of emotions, transforming everyday moments into a magical atmosphere."
